Frosty medium steel brown and light chocolate. Satiny mint luster covers the fields and protected areas and this cent has excellent eye appeal. Just a few trivial contact marks including a tick on the jaw and a few more well hidden in the hair. E-MDS with microscopic radial die flowlines but no die cracks. Our grade is EF45. This is the Wright plate coin for the variety and it comes with a very nice provenance that has been traced back nearly a century. The attribution and Twin Leaf Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
